Teaneck man charged in alleged sex assault on Cresskilll girl

CRESSKILL — A 23-year-old Teaneck man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl who lives in the borough, law enforcement authorities said Monday.

Eduardo Garcia was arrested Thursday and charged with one count each of second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, Bergen County prosecutor John L. Molinelli said in a statement.

The suspect was released from the Bergen County Jail Monday after posting $100,000 bail, according to court records. A judge has ordered him to have no contact with the victim, Molinelli said.

The alleged sexual abuse occurred within the past two months at the victim’s house, Molinelli said. He said the abuse was reported to Cresskill police on Thursday, but did not say who made the report. He said the victim was an acquaintance of the suspect.
